Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a hidden gem of a PNR series that doesn\u2019t seem to get a lot of publicity, but it absolutely should. Full of fantastic, smart-talking characters with kickass abilities, an intriguing and well fleshed-out paranormal world, lots of laughs, and of course a scorchingly hot romance, the books in this series are full of action and great fun. If you haven\u2019t made a start yet, get on it with this – Here Be Sexist Vampires<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this book, there\u2019s a good recap given on events so far, so if it\u2019s been a while since you\u2019ve read the first two books, you should catch up pretty easily \u2013 although please don\u2019t think about starting the series with this one, because nothing will make sense!<\/p>\n

This book starts 5 months after Sam and Jared\u2019s Binding ceremony. They are still blissfully in love, happy, and shagging at every opportunity, so all is happy in their little world. And then come a series of events that threatens the peace that they have found.<\/p>\n

Firstly, the Grand High Master declares his intention to stand down \u2013 and with Jared as his heir, it means it\u2019s time for the two of them to step up. Secondly, serious complaints are made against Sam, bringing in officials to shadow her \u2013 watching and judging her every move. Then there are missing vampires, a deadly vampire plague, a vamp on the run, jealous exes, and a frightening premonition that will bring destruction and death and could cost Sam and Jared all that they hold dear. Phew! And it\u2019s all tied in with fast-paced banter, brilliant verbal smackdowns, heaps of action and a love story that will have you swooning.<\/p>\n

Sam and Jared are a powerhouse couple. They are committed, they are powerful, and they are partners in every sense of the word. Completely devoted to each other, they have a fantastic relationship full of teasing banter, dirty talk, and a whole lot of steamy time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll pay for this\u201d. I had to battle a smile. She didn\u2019t bother to hide hers.
\n\u201cIf you mean you\u2019re going to tie me to the bed again and make me come over and over until I can\u2019t think straight\u2026 come and give it to me\u201d.
\n\u201cI did. You swallowed it, remember?\u201d
\n\u201cOoh, good one.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But underneath all of the laughs and the passion, they are madly in love with each other, and share an incredibly deep bond. Their dedication to each other is really put to the test in this one, and I absolutely love the way it was handled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you … Baby, you\u2019re the only \u2018good\u2019 thing that I\u2019ve ever had. There\u2019s simply no fucking way I\u2019m letting anything at all happen to you. No. Way.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story is told from dual POV, which I love! Sam is a fantastic narrator, and I love her voice, but being able to be inside of Jared\u2019s head is fantastic. I love his monologue, and how we get to truly see how much he loves and respects Sam \u2013 especially after their antagonistic beginning, and even with her constant sarcasm and snarkiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed that people had a habit of underestimating my blunt, crazy, homicidal ray of sunshine. More fool them.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With so many sub-plots, the action is constantly up and down as one problem is resolved, only for another to pop up, cause havoc, get dealt with, and then yet another problem comes up\u2026 you see where I\u2019m going with this. It\u2019s an exciting read, and even through there are multiple storylines, it\u2019s all tied in to the overarching story, and keeps the story moving at a great pace.<\/p>\n

All of the old characters are back, with some significant developments happening there (oh Evan *dreamy sigh*), and some new characters are brought into the story, creating some great dynamics and who I am sure will play a big part in the continuation of the series.<\/p>\n

With humour, drama, romance, kickass action and some big surprises, this is a great read. There is a HEA, and no cliffhanger, but there is definitely a big hint dropped at the end that there are more books to come. And I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n

Loved it \u2013 4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
